Urban Revitalization Program

Overview
The City of Dubuque Urban Revitalization Program, based on Chapter 404 of the Code of Iowa, focuses on the revitalization of residential properties in the community’s older neighborhoods and offers a property tax exemption for new improvements made to qualified residential properties and limited commercial properties.

Owners who upgrade their residential properties located within a designated Urban Revitalization district may receive a 10-year exemption from the property tax liability that would normally accompany numerous property improvements. Owners of commercial properties within the Washington Neighborhood district are eligible for a three-year exemption.

The following plans are available for public comment through March 7, 2016. Please submit comment to the City Clerk's office by mail at 50 W 13th St, Dubuque, IA 52001 or email the City Clerk and include the plan name in the subject line.
